CEDAR SEA II • L: 208'8"; Y: 1985The pride
of the Mouawad family, who own the renowned jewelry company Mondera, Cedar
Sea II entertained former Russian
President Boris Yeltsin and his family last October in France. Two years
ago the yacht hosted the pre- and post-show parties for the World Music
Awards in Monaco, entertaining pop stars Ricky Martin and Christina Aguilera
as well as actress Carmen Electra, among others.B: Feadship/Royal

51. SOKAR •
L: 208'3"; Y: 1990Mohammed al-Fayed,
the Egyptian-born owner of Sokar and London’s famed Harrod’s department store,
moved to Switzerland a few months ago, declaring he’s the victim
of a vendetta being carried out by people within the UK’s Secret
Services. He says it’s because he’s “exposing the truth”
about the deaths of his son Dodi and Princess Diana. Whatever. You may
remember that his yacht, then named Jonikal, was the focus of the paparazzi’s
attention several years ago when the Princess enjoyed a vacation onboard.B: Codecasa,

52. LADY HAYA •
L: 206'6"; Y: 1981A Saudi prince
received this yacht as a gift from the late John Latsis (see no. 3) several
years ago. She cruises throughout the Med.B: Mitsubishi

53. BIG ROI •
L: 206'0"; Y: 2002Roy Speer,
the cofounder of the Home Shopping Network, had owned six other yachts
before commissioning this expedition vessel. He sure knows how to treat
himself right: The entire second deck is devoted to the master suite,
an office for himself, and a private lounge. She was in Bermuda at presstime
and expected in New York around the time you’re reading this.B: Royal Denship,

54. LADY LOLA •
L: 205'5"; Y: 2002Do you enjoy
golf? Duane Hagadone sure does—he enjoys it so much that he tees
off from his yacht’s large, teak-laid swim platform. (The balls were
reportedly made to float.) He also has 18 floating pins and a laser range
marker, to figure out how far the ball is from the pin. Besides turning
the ocean into his own giant driving range, Hagadone—with his wife,
Lola—plans to travel the world onboard. He’ll have more time
now that he’s retired from active management of the Idaho-based newspaper
and hospitality business that bears his name. May we suggest spending
evenings around the Steinway grand piano in the saloon?B: Oceanco,

55. ATTESSA •
L: 205'0"; Y: 1998Formerly known
as Aviva, this yacht suffered a
devastating fire last year and was offered for sale at an undisclosed
price, although it was revealed to be a liquidation to accommodate both
the European owners and their insurers. Dennis Washington, the Montana
entrepreneur who has owned a few yachts over the years, acquired her and
is having her repaired. While the original owners never permitted a photo
shoot to take place of the interior, we hear there was a cinema onboard;
here’s hoping that Washington keeps it.B: Feadship/C.

56. CAKEWALK •
L: 204'5"; Y: 2000There’s
no danger of charter guests being bored on this yacht. Besides having
75 films and 500 CDs to choose from, Cakewalk has a Yamaha Disklavier piano, which can play by itself
or permit someone to do his or her best imitation of Beethoven. If they’re
more visually inclined, they can admire the spiral staircase that rises
through a four-deck cherrywood atrium. Want to know more? Check out www.my-cakewalk.com—and

57. VIRGINIAN •
L: 204'2"; Y: 1990

Graceful, classic, and
elegant are just some of the adjectives typically ascribed to Virginian.
Reminiscent of an English country home inside, she features abundant outdoor
sunning and dining spaces, too. She’s available for charter for $275,625
per week, which gives you access to great watertoys, like kayaks, windsurfers,
and three-man PWCs, plus waterskiing, fishing, and snorkeling gear.B: Feadship/Royal

58. SARAH •
L: 203'4"; Y: 2002The owner
of Sarah is certainly among the
most secretive on our list. Donald Starkey contributed to both her exterior
styling, which deftly makes her five-deck-high profile look much sleeker,
and her interior design, which includes a huge master suite in excess
of 1,100 square feet—and that’s without the adjacent office.B: Amels

T was in a made-for-TV movie about
Jackie O a few years ago. Complete with two master staterooms and capable
of a 5,700-mile range, she sold just before we went to press; no word
on the new name or owner.B: Astilleros
